Peri-implantitis is an infectious disease that leads to progressive bone loss. Surgical therapy
has been advocated as a way of halting its progression and re-establishing peri-implant …

Objective: In dentistry, patient and physician adoption of diode lasers and light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) continues to increase as research indicates that diode lasers and LEDs may …

In this in vitro study, the use of a 445 nm diode laser was investigated for the
decontamination of titanium dental implants. Different irradiation protocols and the effect of …

Bone repair is faced with obstacles such as slow repair rates and limited bone regeneration
capacity. Delayed healing even nonunion could occur in bone defects, influencing the life …

The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the thermal effect of the 445 nm diode laser
on five dental implant systems. In an ailing implant protocol, five commercial dental implant …

Implant surface decontamination is a challenging procedure for therapy of peri-implant
disease. Objective: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of decontamination on …

Objective To assess which decontamination method (s) used for the debridement of titanium
surfaces (disks and dental implants) contaminated with bacterial, most efficiently eliminate …

Photoactivation of 3% hydrogen peroxide with a 445 nm diode laser represents a relatively
new, insufficiently researched antimicrobial method in the treatment of peri-implantitis. The …

Background: Diode lasers have been used for implant decontamination. However, the use of
initiated or noninitiated tips remains unevaluated to verify potential photothermal risks …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of using a 445 nm laser on dental implants
by comparing it with a laser with 970 nm wavelength. Two models, a pig mandible and glass …
